About the Program
Computational Science plays an important role on the crossroads between applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, and natural science. It has become a key technology for the future. We need strategic interdisciplinary approaches to high-performance computer systems in order to efficiently conduct simulations and analyse large data sets gathered in experiments. This is the objective of the field of computational science. It involves creating mathematical models, numerically processing these models, implementing the models in computer systems, and knowing how to apply comprehensive knowledge in relevant natural science disciplines. Students will acquire skills according to the diverse areas of research at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena: applied mathematics, computer science, and in several important areas of application of computational science (physics, materials sciences, chemistry, geology, geography, bioinformatics, neurology, and computer linguistics). Graduates are qualified for both practical and theoretical work in this field. They are capable of developing independent academic work as well as developing computer-aided methods in engineering, natural science, and linguistics.
